Online Favorites Now in Fifth Rack Fashion and Lifestyle Store

Can you say no to a "shopping party"? When friends invite me to similar events, I really try to attend mainly because I want to see what's new out there (of course the free shopping is a big bonus). Since I don't really consider myself a shoppaholic, I am not as familiar with current retail and online brands, and even bazaar favorites. One recent event I attended was a media luncheon for Fifth Rack concept store with their impressive line-up of brands, so I'm sharing some of the items that caught my eye.

5-Step Canon SELPHY Family Portrait Project

I'm a self-confessed pathological picture-taker, even with our old reliable film camera. After every event or trip, I immediately have my rolls of film developed, printed, and then distributed to family members and friends who are in the photos. Then came the digital cameras. There was an avalanche of digital photos in CDs, hard drives, and USB. Horror! I'm stuck with 10 years worth of pictures! I only use our lowly printer for photo prints whenever I need to frame portraits and memorable events, or submit for school. Here's where a Canon SELPHY comes in handy.

Kid-Style: SM Kids Fashion Holiday Collection 2013

I am an SM shopper.  I have been since I was a little kid, tagging along with my mom as we walk around downtown Manila every weekend where all the popular department stores (no malls then) were located.  During the holidays, I get to choose a new dress and a pair of shoes for Christmas.  Shoe Mart was one of our shopping destinations back then.  And now, as a mom, I shop with my kids at SM.  I always find well-made affordable apparel and footwear for myself and the whole family at SM.  This holiday season is no different as I shopped for stylish children's clothes from SM Kids Fashion Holiday Collection.
